Seems good. You don't need an SSD for file storage. An HDD will do just as good in this category.

Also, 8GB is enough RAM. 16 is purely optional, though.

You should also just get HDDs or SSHDs for your Flight Sim, File Storage, and Games.

For the CPU cooler, I'd get the H100i.

For the Mobo, I'd get the Hero, as they are very similar, only the Hero being an ATX opposed to the Gene's mATX. ATX is generally better and allows for better customization.
